Chef's Note

These muffins freeze beautifully! Make a double batch and freeze the extras for busy mornings. To reheat, microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. For extra flavor, try substituting different cheese varieties like Gruyère or pepper jack.

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.

    Finely chop 2 tablespoons fresh chives, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, and 3 stalks of green onions.

  • 4

    In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs, then add 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup olive oil. Whisk until well combined.

  • 5

    Grate 1 cup of cheddar cheese if not already shredded.

  • 6

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.

  • 7

    Fold in the grated cheese and chopped herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, and green onions.

  • 8

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

  • 9

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.

  • 10

    Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
